The hit anime Sakamoto Days is returning for Season 1 Part 2 on July 14, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. Fans can expect 11 new episodes, released weekly, packed with more battles, humor, and the ongoing mission to stop the dangerous serial killer Slur.
What to Expect in Sakamoto Days Season 1 Part 2
The second part continues the story of Taro Sakamoto, a legendary hitman who retired for love but is forced back into action to protect his family. The new episodes will feature higher stakes, new enemies, and deeper character development.
The trailer teases intense fights, including Sakamoto’s team—Shin, Lu, and Heisuke—facing off against world-class assassins. A new character, Gaku, voiced by Jacob Bertrand (Cobra Kai), joins as a powerful antagonist from Sakamoto’s past.
